ED1 Kandarian Dagger 2015 Replica (Second Attempt)

[EvilDeadChainsaws]

This was my second Kandarian Dagger replica, this time modelled on the ED1 prop style. The whole dagger took two days to make, and cost around £84, which sounds overly expensive but the costs mount up. The most expensive elements were the two Visible Man kits (used by Tom Sullivan in the original prop), luckily bought from an US Ebay seller who had two listed together, saving on shipping to the UK. Here is a breakdown of the full costs;

1 x Flat ground flat steel bar (500mm x 5mm x 30mm) - £15.08
2 x Visible Man Kits - £33.66
2 x Sets of chicken bones, cleaned & dried - £5.00 each
1 x 1lb pack of grey Celluclay - £9.49
1 x 200g jar of instant coffee - £2.90
1 x Plywood offcut - Free
1 x 250ml bottle of Decra Sheen - £4.96
Various colour 14ml Humbrol hobby paint tins - £1.60 each

There were still a few little points which weren't 100% ideal, such as the hilt coming out a little too long; 9" rather than 8", making the blade look a little shorter than it should, it needed to be around 2" longer to look the right size. That aside, overall it's a decent enough replica. I eventually sold this to an Australian collector. You can read more at this link, and see photos below
